“Sports Boulevard and Al Nakheel Mall Launch ‘Walking Track’ Initiative in Riyadh during Ramadan”
The Sports Boulevard and Al Nakheel Mall in Riyadh have joined forces to promote health and physical activity with the launch of the “Walking Track” initiative during Ramadan. This initiative features a 506-meter walking track inside the mall, encouraging residents and visitors to incorporate walking into their daily routine, equivalent to approximately 750 steps.
The “Walking Track” is part of the Sports Boulevard’s mission to enhance community well-being and raise awareness about the benefits of regular physical activity. It aligns with the project’s goal to provide quality facilities and promote a lifestyle focused on health and sustainability.
Since its launch, the initiative has garnered a strong turnout, indicating a growing interest in adopting walking as a healthy habit among community members. In addition to the “Walking Track,” the Sports Boulevard continues to enrich Riyadh’s fitness landscape with its immersive cycling experience, RIYDE.
RIYDE utilizes cutting-edge technology to simulate cycling routes, allowing participants to virtually traverse different terrains and compete in an engaging environment. The virtual 5.24km route caters to varying fitness levels, offering a 10-15 minute cycling adventure. Participants can also use virtual reality technology to preview the transformative impact of the completed Sports Boulevard project on Riyadh.
Ahmed Bin Askar, chief of communications at the Sports Boulevard Foundation, emphasized the initiatives’ role in promoting healthier lifestyles and engaging the community in sports. “We are dedicated to improving the quality of life in Riyadh by encouraging residents and visitors to make healthier choices and actively participate in sports and community activities,” he stated.
Overall, the partnership between the Sports Boulevard and Al Nakheel Mall is a step in the right direction towards fostering a culture of health and physical activity in Riyadh. The initiatives not only promote exercise but also offer a glimpse into the future development of the city.
